I'm a Tea drinker, Dammit!

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Unlike many other on here, I am yet to open a thread based on some banal question that is mildy amusing but helps pass the time. But I am bored. So here is my attempt...

I am a tea drinker. I feel no shame at all for this! I like Tea very much. But I do regret that I don't like coffee. In fact it is one of my biggest regrets! It smells so good and looks beautiful, but I really can't stand the bitter taste. I would like to be that smartly dressed chap sipping his espresso but alas, it will never be.

Now... this causes me some issue simply because I refuse to ever meet someone for Tea, I find it a little "Downton Abbey" to invite someone out for "Tea" so I always invite people for coffee, but never order it! Yet I feel obligated after inviting said person for coffee, that I actually only drink tea, in fear of being seen a fraud!

Does anybody else share this terrible burden??!

I would like to add, I do enjoy chocolate covered coffee beans.

Love the smell of coffee, like you, loathe the bitter taste. Not particularly fond of tea, nor hot drinks really. Not good for me, when coffee invites are thrown in either

If I were to have tea, then it has to be Assam, very strong and very milky (full fat or even gold top milk).

Nowadays, I have a very strong, sweet and creamy coffee in the morning, then it is likely to be Ribena for the rest of the day, as I am not keen on PG Tips and semi-skimmed milk that my work place provides.

If it's coffee I can gaurantee I won't like it! That said, I do like Chai, proper Chai, which you can't get in this country! I stayed in India and for a while I rented a bed from this family who leaved in a poor village near the Dalai Lama. The father was a "chai wallah" and he'd be up at 4 to set up his stire at the top of the hill. Every day I stayed there he'd make me a fresh chai, doing his own mix of spices and teas boiled in milk in a pan. He didn't speak a word of English and I not a word of Hindi. But each morning we sat together and drank wonderful chai as the sun came up and the streets came to life. Twas rather a good memory

Anyway. Enough of that sentimental sh*t!

I favour a nice pot of earl grey, strong but not stewed, with a drop of milk. Milk to ho in the cup first of course. Tastes best out of bone china but I'm really not that fussy.

I never used to like coffee and struggle even now with instant but having had experiences abroad where it was impossible to get a decent cup of tea I acquired a taste for café latté and cappuccino.

For non coffee drinkers might I suggests a latté macchiato, no bitterness there, or even a hot chocolate?

My biscuit of choice would either be a ginger nut or a chocolate chip cookie though in moments of weakness I have been known to bite either end off a twix and use it as a straw, sucking hot tea up until on the verge of total disintegration slurping the whole lot in at once.

Have to say I'd be delighted to be invited out for afternoon tea! All those little sandwiches followed by bites of rich creamy cakes.

But as far as the tea goes it would have to be green or white or a fruit or herbal tisane for me.

I'm not a huge fan of coffee either, though I can drink it at a push. But after spending a lot of time in Italy I can't help comparing and the coffee we get here is nothing like good Italian coffee.

Give me a pint pot of squash and I'm happy.
